Requirements
All smartphones from iOS 13 and Android 11 versions are compatible with the device. However,
in order to get the best experience, you need to have the latest software version available on
your phone. Also, make sure you have the wireless versions of the "Android Auto" and/or
"Apple CarPlay" apps.
For Android users, it is necessary to download the Android Auto app before you can use your
EyeRide. Make sure you also have the "Wireless" Android Auto" option enabled.
This step is not necessary for iOS users, as Apple CarPlay is already natively present on your
phone.
Activating Wi-Fi and Bluetooth is mandatory to use your EyeRide.
Remember to fully charge your EyeRide before you connect for the first time. A low battery will
cause connection problems.
We recommend using a standard smartphone charger (5V/2A output, approximately 10W) with
a USB-C cable.For optimal charging, leave your EyeRide on charge for 3-4 hours or overnight
before use.
For optimal charging, leave your EyeRide on charge for 3-4 hours or overnight before use.
Caution: If you use a charger that is too powerful, such as a laptop charger (approximately
45W), it may cause irreversible damage to your product! This type of damage is not covered by
the warranty.
A charger with less power than 2A will take longer to charge EyeRide or may cause battery life
and charging problems.
Activate and configure your phone's Voice Assistant (Google Assistant for Android phones and
Siri for iPhones).
Using the central button of the external module
The central button of the external module allows you to perform a certain number of actions.
Here is a complete list:
•Turn on your EyeRide: press for about two seconds
•Turn off your EyeRide: press for about five seconds
•Activate your Voice Command: press for about two seconds
•Pause/resume music, pick up/hang up a call: one click
•Decline an incoming call: two clicks
Connecting EyeRide to your smartphone
The first pairing may take more than a minute, so please be patient!
Please note: For Android users, before following the steps below, you will need to download
and launch the Android Auto and/or Android Auto for phone screen application depending on
your Android phone version.
For iPhone users, Apple CarPlay is natively present.

To pair EyeRide to your smartphone you will need to:
- Enable WiFi on your phone without selecting a network. (Make sure you are not
connected to an existing WiFi network to avoid creating connection conflicts).
- Turn on your EyeRide by pressing the central button on the external box. The LEDs
will light up in a circular sequence and the Eyelights logo will appear in the prism: your EyeRide
is turned on and in pairing mode.
- Go to your Bluetooth settings, enable it, and select your EyeRide from the list of
available devices. Use the device "EyeRide-xxxxxx" (not the one named "EyeRide_xxxxx")
- Your smartphone will ask you for permission to pair: accept it*.
- After a few seconds, Android Auto or Apple CarPlay will appear in your prism, so all
you have to do is set your route and hit the road!
*At this stage, for some phone models like the Huawei P30 the following message may
appear:
In this case, it is very important that you select Cancel, otherwise your internet connection
will be cut off once you pair with your EyeRide.
On your next trip, we recommend that you turn on your EyeRide before getting equipped. This
will give it time to pair with your smartphone before you hit the road.
Please note: there is no need to select a Wi-Fi network, as pairing is done automatically via
Bluetooth.

Setup your EyeRide
CAUTION: Do not pull on the video cable, it's a delicate and very fragile
element.
First, it is essential to clean the surfaces on which you wish to apply the self-adhesive film.
Once the surface is clean, remove the protective film from the adhesive and apply it to the
desired location. Please refer to the instructions below for the best possible installation.
Please note: the prism is a sensitive optical element and should be cleaned with a
soft cloth only. A dirty prism will drastically alter the virtual reality experience
offered by the EyeRide.

The installation is in three parts, the optical module, the external module and the audio kit. To
guide you as well as possible, here is the link to the installation video : https://eye-
lights.com/pages/support
Step one : Installing the optical module
Start by removing the cheek protection foams from your helmet and detach only the lower part
of the cap.
Attach the optical module in the left area of your helmet (helmet facing you) using the self-
adhesive film provided. Apply strong pressure to the film for about two minutes.
We recommend that you do not use your product for 24 hours after this step in
order to ensure an optimal stickiness of the adhesive.
For helmets with a sun visor, position and secure the wedge between the inside of the sun visor
and the inner cap. To benefit from a better level of fixation, we advise you to also use the
second adhesive provided by placing it on the vertical part of the wedge.
If your helmet does not have a sun visor : just place the wedge between the internal foam and
the shell of your helmet. It's quite simple, no need to add another adhesive, it sticks on its own.
In both cases, bring the horizontal part of the wedge into abutment against the helmet shell.
Make sure to leave enough slack in the cable connecting the two modules so that
you can make adjustments later. (the ribbon cable is very fragile and would not
tolerate being stretched, twisted or pinched).
Step two : Mounting the external module
The external module, like the prism, will be placed on the right side of the helmet.
Remove the protective film of the 3M adhesive then place the module where you want it and
apply pressure for about 2 minutes then let the adhesive stick for about 24 hours.
Step three : audio kit installation
Install the flat speaker of the audio kit in the dedicated spots and hide the cables under the
foams. To properly orient the directional microphone, the small white arrow mark must face
your mouth.

Prism adjustment
If it is not already done, turn on the product and connect it to display the Apple CarPlay or
Android Auto menu into the prism.
You can find the position of your prism by using the two main settings as below to view the
menu in the way that suits you best.
The internal module has a double adjustment system, consisting of a slider to allow it to slide
horizontally, and a double ball-and-socket joint rod to adjust the angle and depth. This allows
you to easily find the layout that best suits you.
Make sure to secure the wedge with your hand during this very first
installation because the double-sided tape will not have had time to
polymerize yet. This precaution is only necessary during the first installation.
